Coolpenguin

Post by koko »

Hi All,

I haven't posted on here in quite a while but wanted to come on and give you some news. Coolpenguin is a stitcher in the forum that is also a friend of mine from high school IRL. Yesterday she lost her long battle with cancer. I know her positive spirit and kind soul will be missed here as in every area of her life so I wanted to let you all know. Prayers and good thoughts would be greatly appreciated by her family and friends.

Thank you, Kim (koko)

Thank you for letting us know, Kim. I've been thinking about her - she was such a delightful woman, and a fighter. She will definitely be missed. Please give my condolences to her family if you can.

Thank you for letting us know. Sometimes, in a forum, we stop hearing from people, and we wonder what has happened to them. I remember looking forward to hear forum threads and looking at the items she had been working on. She will be missed here. :cry:
